<div>Hello Hotline,</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">I am concerned that the overnight forecast is under 20 degrees for the next 7 days, including nights predicted at 1, -4, and -6.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<div dir="ltr">I understand the rationale for capping severe weather shelter nights at 30 maximum, to encourage people to engage with Coordinated Entry and consistent with our housing first goals. Nonetheless, I am wondering if the City could scaffold an extreme
cold SWS option on top of that — so that during cold snaps such at the one under way, people still have the option to come inside from potentially lethal cold (even if they’ve used SWS 30 times, as some sound to have done already). </div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Given that this situation is urgent — the coming 4 days are single digits or subzero temps<span style="font-size: inherit;"> — I am using Hotline to lift up this question / possible solution for staff consideration, and wanted to loop in colleagues
in case others are similarly concerned (understanding of course that we as council members cannot individually direct staff nor take group votes outside of meetings). </span></div>
